Wasco Elementary School

Our school community both staff and students, self-certifies their health electronically before entering the building using the D303 Self Certification system. As a reminder, please sign the backpack tag and complete the online Self Certification daily. It would be very helpful if you could complete this certification before your child arrives at school. Please contact the office if you have any questions.

Families who wish to submit a Middle School Transfer request may do so beginning February 1, 2021. Families must complete a separate form for each student they want to be transferred. Requests are granted based on space available. This means that siblings are not guaranteed placement. A written decision will be communicated to families before spring break.

Once the request is approved, a student may remain at that middle school throughout his or her middle school career, as long as the student resides in District 303.

Families of students granted permission to attend a school outside of their assigned attendance area are responsible for their own transportation.

Students will return to their assigned attendance area high school regardless of the middle school attended.

The District 303 Community Preschool Program will be conducting its annual registration lottery. Enrollment will be offered online from January 19 to February 2, 2021.

The lottery enrollment link and informational meeting's registration link can be found on the District website on the Early Childhood page. Please note, in order to receive the Zoom links for the informational meetings, you must complete the registration form.

Wasco’s Picture Day is coming up. On January 20th, the students’ and staff will have their picture taken by Color Portraits. The ordering form link, for both In-Person and Remote students, is below. The portrait session for our Remote students will be from 2:00-3:30 and remote families will receive an email next week with an invitation to sign up for an appointment. Within the invitation I will also explain the process. If you can not attend January 20th, there will be retakes done on February 18th. We always follow our health and safety procedures, so the process for pictures will maintain our guidelines. Please contact the office with any questions.
